Look at naturehike. They have their own website. They also sell them on Amazon and whatever. They might be on sale black friday, I'm not sure. If I were buying one of their tents today personally, I'd be looking at the Cloud Up 2 ultralight. That's me personally because I want a little more room. But they have one person tents that are lighter. And I'm not sure what the four season situation is with them.
r/backpacking • Looking for a Tent ->Just about any $200 tent can pack down into a 2-3L fork bag if you compress it and put the poles elsewhere. Both my NatureHike 3p and 2p Cloud up fit in my fork bags
r/bikepacking • Top Temu/amazon bike packing tent and camp gear suggestions? List any and everything..MEGA THREAD ->I have a Cloud up 2 in a 2L stuff sack then compressed to 1L.
r/bikepacking • Naturehike cloud up 1 (or any small tent) pack size? ->If you are below 175, maybe 180cm tall, CloudUp will surely be OK. If you can manage condensation (sleeping alone in well vented tented should make it bearable, if it's raining out there you may need to use your buff or small microfiber cloth piece to wipe the inside part of the fly), you can look at the NH Taga/Tagar 1 tent. It will be semi-freestanding like CloudUp, but due to no separate inner mesh (only side walls have inner mesh glued to them) it should take less space and be lighter. If you want it truly freestanding, then there are Mongar / Star River tents, but both are 2P. (At least older versions of) NH Vik had issues with bad top vents placement that sometimes let the rain in. Whichever you choose, take the variant with silnylon fly (which chinese mark by adding denier number to the name - for example \`20D\`). Poliester one (typically labelled them as \`210T\`) will be heavier and bulkier when rolled up, but cheaper. If you want it even smaller and still cheap, I'd look at \`Flame's Creed 3x3m 15D\` tarp combined with Lixada's mesh inner. Very light, dirt cheap and definitely OK for shorter person. You can look up the ways to set it all up using your bike, when there are no trees, fences or other poles around (or grab foldable carbon fiber trekking poles, which are much cheaper than dedicated tarptent poles - 130cm one weighs 125g and costs 20-22$).
r/bikepacking • Naturehike cloud up 1 (or any small tent) pack size? ->I edited my comment with more details. Enable the translation and check out this Taga review: [https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/05/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-1.html](https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/05/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-1.html) [https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/06/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-2-w.html](https://ginvilla.blogspot.com/2018/06/namioty-naturehike-taga-1-czesc-2-w.html) Taga, compared to CloudUp has small bar across the main pole arc, which makes it more spacious inside, CloudUp badly needs to be widely staked, otherwise sides fully sag inside. Getting compact and light double layer tent that is both cheap and freestanding is impossible :) Depending on where you are Hubba 1, XDome 1+, Copper Spur (1 person variant) or something akin Dragonfly 1 would fit you, but those are not budget tents. That said, semi-fresstanding chinese ones are okay for not too tall people. CloudUp is very popular everywhere for a reason. But I happily sold my 1P after a single night and can not measure it to verify the dimensions provided by the manufacturer (did you check them out by the way?) I have only Taga 1 left (still waiting to be sold).
r/bikepacking • Naturehike cloud up 1 (or any small tent) pack size? ->Have you looked at the Nature hike Cloud up 1 or 2?
r/wildcampingintheuk • Best tent for Solo Backpacking? ->£140 from Amazon. Lots of space for one person and your kit and weighs 1.8kg all in. Freestanding inner that clips onto the poles and then flysheet you put over the top. Vestibule in the front to cook in. It looks a lot like the Terra Nova Voyager. It's probably a copy of that tent.
r/wildcampingintheuk • Best tent for Solo Backpacking? ->My first tent was the naturehike cloud up 2 and honestly I loved it. I severed me well for many hikes and weighed around 1.8kg. There's some modifications on YouTube that might be worth considering. I never had it in any severe weather, but there are plenty of YouTube videos where people have and it's survived. I might suggest getting the 2 instead of the 1 as a lot of people say the 1 is too small, but it's your call :)

I have naturehike backpacking tent and a sleeping bag, I'm happy with both but I got them off amazon.
r/camping • Is Naturehike.com legit? ->I have a naturehike backpacking tent and a sleeping bag. Both are great. I got them years ago when they were cheap. The prices have since doubled.
r/CampingandHiking • Some comments on Chinese gear brands(Camel, Naturehike, Mobigarden, Primitive) ->I really like my nature hike cloud up 2. Nylon. Pretty light but holds up well so far. Comes with the fly and footprint. Only like $110.
r/backpacking • Good Budget Tent and Sleeping bag? ->I like my nature hike cloud 2, it's about $110 and like 3.5 lbs
r/backpacking • Cheapest/lightest tent? ->Love my cloud up Edit: also oml yeah I feel like the most unagile person who has ever lived getting in and out of it
r/CampingandHiking • What's the best budget tent? ->Naturehike. Tested ko na sa camping sa Pulag yong 2P. Lakas ng rain at hangin sa campsite. Nasa 2.5 kg kilos ata yang 2P. Di kasama accessories. Mas magaan dyan yong 1P tent, 1.3 kg di kasama accessories.
r/PHikingAndBackpacking • Affordable Camping Tents ->I use the nature hike star river 2, cloud up 1 and 2. Awesome durable tents that are incredible quality for the price.
r/canoecamping • Tent Recommendations ->Naturehike Cloud Up 2 or Naturehike Mongar UL 2. I have the cloud up but like better the Mongas. There are various versions of the Cloud Up 2 with different prices but also weight. I have the cheaptest and heaviest of them all at around 2 kg, but it's fine as when I go with a friend I must go to his/her pace which slower. If you check the Mongar be sure to choose the UL version. The price of that last time I checked was very competitive. That's for freestanding tents, for UL trekking pole tents you can't go wrong with the Lanshan 2.
r/Ultralight • View on Reddit →Nature Hike Cloud up 2 budget but very good or a little more expensive but high end Durston mid 2
r/bicycletouring • View on Reddit →For the CloudUp, 4000MM is for the 20D (green colour) tent material and fly. The bathtub floor is 20D with a silicone coating, so it's probably in the range of 6000+. It's worth noting, unless you plan on setting up in a terrible spot and/or are expecting torrential rain, the 1800mm is more than enough for anyone. On that note, the Eureka tent has a better construction, and has slightly more headspace.

r/backpacking • View on Reddit →I just got the cloud up 2, haven't tested it yet but I was essentially looking at the river and the cloud up also. I ended up going with the cloud up 2 over the just for weight. I got the upgraded cloud up 2 20D is the forest green colour for £80 new. planning on adding some mods similar to this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CW_MBX1UfL0 I felt the pro wasn't sturdy enough for 3.5 seasons (yes 3.5 seasons is a thing lol) and though the 20d version offered the best rain protection. I really liked Andy's break down of the tents in this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1UPx9Vq100c&pp=0gcJCRsBo7VqN5tD I ignored his conclusion because that's personal preference but liked watching them side by side to compare.
r/wildcampingintheuk • View on Reddit →I've never heard of them but products from their parent company, DAC are ubiquitous in high end backpacking gear. I'd give a design like the sololite a try. The vestibule comes separately adding a lot of cost. I see two big problems with this tent; * Shipping stuff overseas to Canada can be a big PITA. I'm not sure where you are purchasing it but but "Bigtent Explore" option may largely avoid shipping being a PITA and that store seems to be the main place to buy them. * If you decide to sell this tent it will be difficult due to the lack of name recognition. Durston's a Canadian company that manufacturers extremely popular tents and if you want a high end option they are worth a look. I'd recommend starting with a freestanding tent like the X-Mid. I primarily use a different tent but I've been extremely impressed by one of their trekking pole tents I own. Another option is more budget oriented tents. NatureHike makes a bunch of fairly light tents (CloudUP, Mongar) and imho they are more durable than the extreme ultralight tents. If you do get serious about backpacking, you can later upgrade from a budget tent. Personally I use less expensive tents when camping close to vehicles as weight isn't a major concern and I'm less worried about damaging them. If you later decide to get a ultralight 1 person tent, the extra space of a two person will be greatly appreciated when weight isn't a concern. Go to MEC or another outdoor store (Not Atmosphere / Sportchek) and start trying on packs and find one that fits well. Keep a few in mind and purchase one that will fit the rest of your great and aim for a 60L or smaller pack. As long as you have a sleeping bag designed for backpacking that uses down and / or synthetic materials and has an appropriate comfort temperature rating its hard to go wrong.
r/backpacking • View on Reddit →Definitely get the new one with 15d! I use the nature hike cloud up 2 10d and it's not too thin
r/Ultralight • View on Reddit →To add to the buy from Amazon I got mine almost half price through Amazon resale same return rights. It wasn't in original packaging and I think it might be missing a tent peg . I haven't slept in it yet and am a complete novice but I am very happy with it ☺ï¸
r/wildcampingintheuk • View on Reddit →Love my cloud up Edit: also oml yeah I feel like the most unagile person who has ever lived getting in and out of it
r/CampingandHiking • View on Reddit →Fair. Personally I'd trade a bit more exposure to the elements for not having to deal with excess condensation. It really depends on what route OP plans to take, the time of year that they'll be in each place and how exposed they'll be. The Naturehike Cloud Up 2 I mentioned is half way between the fully mesh inner of the Portal 2 and a fully solid inner so I think that something along these lines is a good compromise.
r/Ultralight • View on Reddit →i got a naturehike cloud up 2 for 135 euros and its a great tent

r/bikepacking • View on Reddit →We picked up a 2p Nature hike tents off of Amazon and it was the happy medium you're looking for. It has quickly become our favourite tent. The poles are super easy and intuitive to put together. The tent is durable and has plenty of space too!
r/WildernessBackpacking • View on Reddit →Naturehike cloud up 2 is really good I think I bought one for £120 I took it on a 3 month motorbike trip around europe and it held up great in all conditions. With sleeping bag temperature it really depends on what time of year you are going. If it's just over spring summer then 0 degrees bag should be more than enough. A lot of the sleeping bag temp ratings are based on the assumption you're using and insulated sleeping pad and have thermals and a woolly hat on I think haha so a 0 degree bag doesn't mean 0 degrees although tbf it will be the warmer in the tent than outside.
r/camping • View on Reddit →My first budget backpacking sleeping bag was a Kelty Cosmic 20. It was way heavier than I expected. A friend let me use their Naturehike Sleeping bag (not sure on specific type) and it was way lighter and more compact. I still use the Kelty for car camping, but it no longer goes on backpacking trips with me. My next upgrade will be an ultralight quilt. I got a used Gossamer Gear pack 55L off eBay that I love! I started with a Naturehike CloudUp 2 tent which was fine for the price, I have since upgraded to a Tarptent Double Rainbow (also used on eBay). Depending on the distance and weather, I will still take the Naturehike tent sometimes even though it is heavier. I like that you can use it without the rain fly on a nice night and just have the mesh top so I can see the trees and stars. My first pad was a Klymit pad from Amazon for $40. It works fine for warm weather. I upgraded to an Exped Duo 3R last year since I now usually backpack with my daughter or girlfriend and a 2P pad seemed easier. I also have two Nemo Switchback pads that I will carry on some hikes. I put them under my pad in the tent to prevent any punctures in my Exped and to give a little more insulation on colder nights. They are also great to pull out and use as a pad around camp when we are lounging before going to bed. Unfortunately, UL gear and spending an arm and leg kinda go hand in hand. All of my inexpensive gear was great to get me started, but over the last few years, I have been replacing them with lower weight, higher quality, and hence more expensive options. Along with being heavier, the cheaper stuff is just, cheaper. The biggest thing I have noticed is the zippers don't glide as easy on my cheap gear. This can be a huge annoyance when trying to zip your tent or bag.
r/Ultralight • View on Reddit →\+1 to the Cloud Up 2. I have the Pro in silnylon, and even though there's a few quirks I honestly can't complain for the price. It's an excellent combination of price/weight/comfort. It's easy to set up, and freestanding so hard to pitch wrong. It comes with stakes and footprint. Customer service is good, mine was missing the footprint and they shipped it from China. Downsides are that it's not for tall folks, and not for 2 people. IMO it is the best option for trying out wilderness backpacking. If you've done it for a while and you know your climate and preferences, you can pay more for specific advantages: lighter weight, bigger headroom, freestanding vs 1 vs 2 poles, less sag fabric, etc. If not, you can't go wrong with this tent.
r/backpacking • View on Reddit →I have a nature hike 6 person mastiff for when my boys and when I go I use 2 person Nature hike. Have a wood stove and metal pipes. Feel safe. Might want to invest in a saw or a mini chain saw.
r/WinterCamping • View on Reddit →The Cloud-Up is way less practical than MSR Hubba replica from NH.
r/CampingGear • View on Reddit →I like my nature hike cloud 2, it's about $110 and like 3.5 lbs
r/backpacking • View on Reddit →Also look at the Naturehike cloud up 2. Usual price is about £100, but I picked mine up for under £70 on Ali express, but you can pay a bit more and get it on Amazon if you prefer. If you want a bit more space a mongar 2 is similar in terms of internal floor space but its walls are more vertical so there is more width up to the top of the tent and a usable awning on both sides of the tent. Either one is fine for doe I would have thought. If your budget can stretch a little there ar lightweight versions. Also check out a lanshan 1 or 2 if you use trekking poles. It's not free standing so needs a bit more certainty when you pitch it but it's very popular for a reason, the lightest variation is only single wall and can suffer from condensation. If you are going to keep using the tent and want to buy once the Durston x dome 1+ looks like a dream tent for that sort of trip. Weighing about 1 kg it pitches very quickly in one cycle with ground sheet, inner and fly connected if you want. Plenty of space inside for one, large vestibule. Not sure where you can source them from in uk though and the US price is $ 379 though to be fair that looks good value for what you get. Customs duty may bump this up further though.
r/UKhiking • View on Reddit →I used the nature hike cloud up 2 and it lasted me a whole thru hike on the PCT without any faults. Cost about £100. Its my go to tent now, I would never bother buying anything more expensive
r/PacificCrestTrail • View on Reddit →A solid inner is no fun in humid regions and really only recommended in snowy conditions. How much snow are you planning to see? The website mentions a set of heavy duty poles which would be what I would choose if I didn't have the luxury of only travelling during nice weather. The Cloud Up2 is a similar weight (although there are a few different versions) but has an inner with less mesh. Considerably cheaper and mine served me well.
r/Ultralight • View on Reddit →Look - the thing is, four season doesn't mean 'on the top of a fucking mountain' - it means can it withstand winter camping. Which the Lanshan can, cos I've camped in it, in winter. Can it stand the top of a Scottish mountain in the middle of a winter storm? Probably not. But most tents struggle with that, tbh. There is footage of even Hillebergs failing in a storm if you look on YouTube. Tents aren't the best thing in those really extreme conditions.

r/bikepacking • View on Reddit →Naturehike cloud up is my budget recommendation
r/CampingGear • View on Reddit →I have one, more than happy with it compared to euro hike stuff I used to use. Much easier to put up and more waterproof. I've only used it in fairly good British weather (no storms or mountain tops) but it's been more than good enough.
r/wildcampingintheuk • View on Reddit →Yes I just watched that, which made me consider it. I take a few of those long Alpkit spikes for windward sides with my Cloud Up or my Lanshan where the main guys are vulnerable. I replaced Naturehike's dinky pegs with the longer ones that worked well.
r/wildcampingintheuk • View on Reddit →i'm on a tour right now and the tent has been really good, can mount it in less than 5 minutes and fits great on the handlebars of my bike
r/bikepacking • View on Reddit →Hey, I just purchased the NatureHike Cloud Up 2P. The poles are so slim it scares me! How does yours hold up in wind?
r/camping • View on Reddit →The cloud up 2 is a fantastic tent, highly recommend.
r/CampingandHiking • View on Reddit →Was gifted a 2 person Naturehike easy enough to set up. 1 rain and a couple sprinkles and dry inside. Look for a tent with pole clips for easy assembly. Pushing rods through sleeves can try my patience. Waterproofing a tent is a simple process. Don't let that determine a purchase. Rain fly should cover the entire tent. It also helps keep the warmth in when needed.
r/camping • View on Reddit →I've not had to deal with Naturehike support but their tents are solid. The Cloud Up I have is 1.5kg all in, and has survived high winds - 30-40mph gusting? The sides do bow in though, so it's not idea. But the poles flex and don't break upto 50mph - MyLifeOutdoors on YT tested it on the top of his car and it survived that! Heat/inner wise it is 3 seaosn, if you go that route go for the Pro as it has a semi solid inner. I wish Naturehike did four season tents, at least in the warmth sense, if not high wind sense. 3FUL are solid, have several of their tents and backpacks. I hear their support is good. Apparently the vent issue is fixed? There are many mods to it, bigger poles, extra guy outs, etc all on YouTube...I want to know if you can double pole it, as 3FUl sell the double pole attachments. But kind of kills the point of UL that. TFS I dunno. The other one I'm tempted by but they only do the 2P in puke yellow is Asta Gear Crescent. That looks really solid, and you can easily mod it to double pole it. But again, if you want to have a UL tent, double poling it kind of takes out the UL point. But it does mean you can have a UL tent the rest of the time, and take the poles if needed. After a lot of research, it seems basically you either stick to 3-3.6 season tents and chance it, or the 'four season' Chinese tents many mock here that aren't built for really high winds - and/or mod them to survive said winds, or pay silly money. £700 for a tent isn't happening, as much as I love the Scarp 1. Or accept the weight penalty and go for a heavier old-school brand....Vango etc. Must say many that people recommended from cottage brands didn't actually look any more butch than 3FUL's offerings, bar the Scarp 1. Or was actually 3 season. Like if you're saying it's going to be super windproof and it's 15-20D, I am still side-eyeing that shit unless it's DCF! But I think weight wise, for something four season-ish that will survive winds and cheap, it's going to be WELL over 2kg.
r/wildcampingintheuk • View on Reddit →Naturehike tents are great, I think I bought a cloud up 2 for £120 and it packs really small. AliExpress also has a lot of good compact down sleeping bags I got a great one from there. Can also get an inflatable pillow but personally I prefer a real pillow although they do make hybrid pillows which are inflatable and have a cushion inside but I've never tried them. Sea to summit make collapsing cook system where the pot and bowls collapse. Loads of shit you can buy but main thing is to bring less stuff.
r/motocamping • View on Reddit →I also have a cloud up and it has lasted 4 years so far with fairly heavy use. Great budget tent.
r/CampingandHiking • View on Reddit →I have a Naturehike Cloud Up 2 that weighs like a 1 person but can actually fit 2 people, and is really nice for one person. It's been with me on a couple treasure hunts, a bike tour, and used for lots of backyard camping. Gonna use it this year for a few backpacking trips. I know it's a Chinese ripoff of some other big name design, but it's a really nice tent for the money. Highly recommend.
r/bicycletouring • View on Reddit →No sorry, we use the cloud up 2 at the moment as a couple for a month bikepacking. I wouldn't like to spent days on days in it during rain but it works sitting up at least when u r alone inside, I am 183cm. Together seating it also somehow works but not totally upright
r/bicycletouring • View on Reddit →Hey! Just chiming in as someone who's done quite a few budget-friendly trips (including the Rockies!). You're totally right to look into **Featherstone** - solid brand for the price, especially their **Backpack UL 2P**. It's light, packs small, and holds up well in 3-season conditions. For sleeping bags, here are a couple of budget options that won't leave you freezing at night: * **REI Trailbreak 20** - around $100, synthetic fill, decent warmth-to-weight ratio for beginners. * **Hyke & Byke Eolus 30°F** (down) - if you can stretch a bit more, this one's warm, packable, and lighter than synthetic. Also check out **Naturehike tents** - their Cloud Up 2 is budget ultralight gold if you're okay with slightly less durability. Tip: Don't forget a good sleeping pad - something like the **Klymit Static V** helps way more than you'd think for warmth and comfort. You're doing great researching this now - the Rockies can be unpredictable even in spring, so solid gear will pay off. Let me know if you want recs for budget stoves or other essentials!
r/backpacking • View on Reddit →I second that. Lanshan is fine except my copycat version is a bit finicky to pitch (maybe my pole is too long?). I have the cloud Up 2 as well and it's my favourite and i take it over the lanshan If the weight/space allows. Tried a tarp and flytent as well but i found it just too much work.
r/bikepacking • View on Reddit →Will depend exactly what you're comfortable with, and how much gear you have, but the Naturehike 2 person tents are pretty much big enough to actually fit two people. Vestibules are substantial. I mention this because I belive they are in stock online (in the UK at least). The Star River is probably better for cold than the Mongar. Very similar design but less mesh in the inner.
